Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
(Note: The caches in this description are not real.)

Domonic had no idea what to get Deb and his four other sisters for Christmas. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him. "Caches!" he thought. "They all need to have caches placed in their honor." In a moment, he was off to the store, where he selected 5 containers, no two of which were the same size (one is REGULAR), the same color, or were planted at the same height. From the information given, can you determine the cache size, the color (one is black), and height of the hide (under a bridge, inside a fallen log, a lamp post skirt, street sign, high up in a tree) of each cache hidden in their honor? The following information should be all that you need:

1. Danielle's cache isn't the one that was inside a fallen log.
2. Darcee's cache was hidden higher than the green one.
3. The LARGE size cache was hidden higher than the brown colored container.
4. Dina's tribute cache was hidden in a lamp post skirt and is SMALL size, which will be lower than the one that is brown.
5. The white cache is a NANO and is hidden higher than the silver container (which is not a MICRO).
6. Donna's cache is hidden high up in a tree.

From this information, you can find the real treasure hidden for your pleasure. The cache is located at:

N 41 * ?. 0 $ @
W 088. X !. % & ^

Following the formula A=1, B=2, C=3, etc., the following will lead you right to the hidden cache:

% = the last letter of the sister with the green colored cache.
* = the third letter in the size of Darcee's cache.
^ = the sister with the cache under the bridge has this many letters in her name.
X = the sister with the LARGE cache, ends with this letter.
? = the sister with the street sign cache has this letter 2nd in her name.
@ = the REGULAR size cache has this many letters to it's color.
$ = Deb's cache has this many letters to it's size.
! = two of the cache colors begin with this letter.
& = the 2nd letter in the name of the sister with the white NANO has this value.

Happy Hunting!

CONGRATS TO DOUGHBALL FOR THE QUICK FTF!
